Legacy Defend CAC Trophy 3-1 vs Falcons — latto Locks Back-to-Back MVP

Legacy defeat Falcons 3-1 in the CS Asia Championships 2026 grand final to defend the title, with Bruno 'latto' Rebelatto claiming back-to-back CAC MVP medals.

Legacy Defend CAC Trophy 3-1 vs Falcons — latto Locks Back-to-Back MVP

Legacy are CS Asia Championships champions for the second year running. The Brazilian side defeated Team Falcons 3-1 in the CAC 2026 grand final — losing Nuke 13-11 to open before tearing through Ancient (13-9), Mirage (13-6) and Dust2 (13-6) to defend the trophy they lifted in 2025. It is the biggest result of the Brazilian Counter-Strike year so far and one of the most significant Tier 1 wins on the calendar heading into the IEM Cologne Major.

latto’s MVP run gets a second medal

Bruno ‘latto’ Rebelatto entered the final narrowly ahead in the MVP race and closed it with a 1.52 series rating across the four maps — including a tournament-defining 2.22 rating with 28 kills on Ancient that swung the entire momentum of the series. The back-to-back CAC MVP medal is one of the standout individual accolades of the 2026 season and cements latto’s status as Brazil’s leading active rifler.

How the grand final flipped

Nuke looked like the script Falcons wanted. The karrigan-led superteam took the opener 13-11 and the early read suggested their structural firepower would simply overwhelm the Brazilians in a long Bo5. Instead Legacy responded with three of the most complete maps any team has played at the event:

  • Ancient 13-9 — latto’s 2.22 rating completely reshapes the series
  • Mirage 13-6 — Falcons’ map pool exposed
  • Dust2 13-6 — the celebration map

What this means for the Major

Legacy enter Cologne with two consecutive CAC titles, a top-three at IEM Atlanta, and a playoff run at ESL Pro League S23. Falcons, meanwhile, hit a second straight grand-final loss with the rebuilt karrigan project. After the match latto framed the Falcons matchup as personally important — “The fact that we managed to win that final against them shows that we’re on the right track.” Two weeks from the Major, the Brazilian dark horse just became a Tier-1 threat.
